Yay, I got my car back yesterday. for those of you who've known what's been going on, I'm sure you know how ecstatic I am.
One bad thing, however (which was fixed) was when I took off from the shop it ran really really rough. I figured that since it hasn't been started in 3 months and it had old gas, that that is why it was running that way. Filled her up and took her around for a while, but it didn't cure it. I had to barely touch the pedal otherwise it would feel like it was going to shut off, all the power was going (kind of like if the Y pipe falls off) So I look under the hood and I see that the piping going from the front turbo to the intake was just hanging there. I drove home, got a screwdriver, and fixed that, now it drives like a maniac. I forgot how freaking fast these cars were :)
Also, I was up until midnight installing my new custom sub box in my car, and I am encoding the file to my computer now, so you guys should be able to see it shortly.

Ya know, now that I think of it.. I should have started a trust fund or something along the lines of that. Ask a few fellow stealth/3000gt guys to chip in a dollar towards a major repair for somebody. Think about it.. 30 people? 30 bucks! it's a start.. but I doubt people would be that willing to send a dollar. Never know..
